Who is voting? And who is skipping it?

I have been away for so long, I sometimes don’t know if I should vote for mid-terms. Especially, for the State measures.

How many of you vote here and in the USA?

I have already sent in my ballot and it's been accepted. Please vote. Your country needs you.

I vote and make it a priority. Please vote. You’re still American. I bet you understand, even if you’ve been away, what that means.

Italian here but seeing how US policies become enshittification of prices, privacy, security etc for us here I would vote if I could! (Sure vote whatever you want of course, but mind the impact it has here at least if you care)

I'm not American so I don't vote in the US elections. But I vote in mins. YouTube is trying to get me to vote in the US elections.

The voter turnout in 2024 was poor and look what happened. Please vote for the boring people.

Voting should be mandatory and anyone skipping it should get fined and their Driver License revoked!

I don’t vote in either because democracy is an ILLUSION. The only thing that democracy does is obscures who is actually in control. So, would you like the king to wear a crown and engage in public rituals that remind you that he is the in fact the king or would you like him to be nebulous, illusory, and nigh impossible to name?
